Under-eye bags can make you look tired, stressed, and older than you feel. While getting enough sleep and staying hydrated can help, many people find that those puffy shadows linger no matter how healthy their lifestyle is. That’s where med spa treatments come in. With professional, non-surgical options available, you can target the root causes of under-eye bags and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance. In this blog post, the experts from Open Door Med Spa explore this further.
Understanding Under-Eye Bags
Before diving into treatments, it’s important to understand what causes under-eye bags. They can be the result of fluid retention, aging, genetics, or lifestyle habits. As we age, the muscles and tissue around our eyes weaken, and fat that used to support the eye can migrate downward, creating puffiness. Additionally, skin laxity and loss of collagen make the problem appear worse. Med spa treatments are designed to address these underlying causes by firming, lifting, and rejuvenating the delicate under-eye area.
Dermal Fillers for Hollowing & Shadowing
One of the most popular treatments for under-eye bags is dermal fillers. These injectable gels, usually made of hyaluronic acid, can be carefully placed in the tear trough area to reduce the appearance of hollows and shadows. By adding volume, fillers smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, which helps reduce the illusion of puffiness and brightens the under-eye area. Results are often immediate and can last six months to a year, depending on the product used.
Microneedling with PRP for Skin Tightening
Another effective treatment for under-eye bags is microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This treatment involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production. When combined with PRP—extracted from your own blood—the healing process is enhanced, leading to firmer, smoother skin. This is a great option for people whose bags are caused by loose or crepey skin rather than fat deposits.
Laser Treatments for Pigmentation & Texture
Laser treatments such as fractional CO2 or erbium lasers are also used to improve the appearance of under-eye bags. These treatments work by resurfacing the skin, reducing pigmentation, stimulating collagen, and tightening the area. Though some downtime may be required, the results can be dramatic and long-lasting. Laser therapy is especially helpful for those who also have discoloration under the eyes, like dark circles or uneven tone.
Radiofrequency for a Gentle Lift
For those seeking a non-invasive option with no downtime, radiofrequency (RF) treatments are an excellent choice. Devices like Thermage or Forma use RF energy to heat the deeper layers of skin, promoting collagen remodeling and tightening the tissue. Over time, this can help lift and firm the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of bags in a subtle, natural way.
Custom Approach for Best Results
Every individual is unique, and the best treatment plan will depend on your specific skin concerns, age, and the underlying cause of your under-eye bags.
